Not many full-length (or long one-act) scripts do I end up reading on one gulp. This one I did. Gaumond's play starts out like your standard "three people caught in a storm" setpiece that touches you from the start and then gradually reveals itself as a ghost story where two souls locked in grief are finally set free. I loved it.

In the grand tradition of plays set in a pub, peopled by lost souls, North Wind stays true to its form while also taking surprising turns. A warm play in a chilly locale, Sarah Cosgrove crafts an original ghost story that feels like part of the classic American canon.

This is a beautifully evocative story about love, loss, forgiveness and rejuvenation. Cosgrove creates a hauntingly specific world with her lyrically poetic use of language – a world that is both harsh and forgiving – and she peoples it with characters whose wants and needs are both intimately personal, and larger than life. A thoughtful, tender and heartbreaking play.
